This programme covers our global work and will provide targeted resources over five years to: 1) Scale up, pilot and implement PSEAH global tools, cross sector initiatives and approaches; 2) Support PSEAH coordination and multistakeholder dialogue to address common challenges and to improve collective action; 3) Seek the PSEAH tools and ‘global public goods’ of the future through research and pilots to address critical gaps in evidence on what works to prevent and respond to SEAH in different contexts.
Ukraine Economic Stabilisation Programme
